Four photos and the clips made from them. Each shows the photo it started from and the motion prompt it was given.

Before you upload a photo of a person

Another person’s photo animates on the Standard engine once you confirm their permission: 720p on a free account, higher on paid, always AI-labelled. Children and public figures are refused at upload. Premium takes only your own verified likeness.

How it works

Three steps, one photo

  1. Step 1

    Add a photo

    Upload a still, or pick one you made in the Image Studio.

  2. Step 2

    Describe the motion

    Name the camera move and the one thing that should happen.

  3. Step 3

    Render

    Choose landscape or portrait and 4 to 10 seconds; the clip comes back with sound.

The honest version

What free gets you

In many countries a new account gets 200 free starter credits, no card: 6 draft clips at 360p, one 10-second clip at 720p, 10 images or 3 songs. Unused starter credits expire 24 hours after they are granted.

Every render shows its price before you generate. Tools that promise unlimited free video recover the cost elsewhere: a queue, a watermark or rights over what you make.

Premium engine

One take, up to 30 seconds, with sound

For shots a short clip cannot hold: one continuous take directed beat by beat, in 5 frame shapes, with sound rendered with the picture.

Questions

Image to video, answered

Is the image to video AI free?

In many countries a new account gets 200 free starter credits with no card, enough for 6 drafts at 360p or one 10-second 720p clip. Some regions are excluded. Unused starter credits expire 24 hours after they are granted.

How much does one clip cost?

Every render shows its price before you generate. On the Standard engine a 4-second clip costs 30 credits at 360p or 80 at 720p, and a 10-second clip 60 or 160. Credit packs are one-off, from €3.99 (prices are set per currency), and bought credits never expire.

Do I need an account?

Not to try it. Where the starter grant is offered, some visitors can render one 4-second 360p watermarked text-to-video preview here with no account, one per person and subject to eligibility and daily capacity. Keeping it needs a free account; starter credits expire 24 hours after they are granted.

Can I animate a photo of a person?

Another person’s photo animates on the Standard engine once you confirm their permission: 720p on a free account, higher on paid, always AI-labelled. Children and public figures are refused at upload. Premium takes only your own verified likeness.

Is there a watermark, and can I use the video commercially?

Every account, free included, may use what it makes commercially, and PrismPoster claims no ownership of it. Clips from a free account carry a small "AI-generated" label with the PrismPoster mark; any credit pack removes it, except on work made or edited with a real person’s likeness, which keeps it on every account. Premium-engine video of your own verified likeness carries none. Files are also written with embedded provenance metadata, best effort.

How long can the video be?

Each clip runs 4 to 10 seconds. For a longer video, cut several clips together on the timeline editor and export them as one MP4.

Does it add sound?

Yes. Every clip comes back with sound generated together with the picture, matched to what happens in the scene: footsteps, wind, waves, a laugh.

What resolution do I get on a free account?

Up to 720p: 360p for quick drafts, 720p for the take you keep. 1080p and 4K unlock after any credit pack.

Which photos can I use?

JPEG, PNG or WebP, or a still you just made in the Image Studio. Frame it the way the clip should open, and keep the subject away from the edges, which warp first.
